The day was October 7th, 2003 … Carin Winter got the news that her sister Beth had committed suicide. This came as a result of her doctor’s visit when she went in for a physical and mentioned to the doctor that she had some anxiety and insomnia (which was caused by stress over a job interview and caring for a baby bird she was feeding every hour around the clock), in which he quickly prescribed Paxil.
